Catch it before it ships. Fix it before it matters.
We build award-winning smart glasses in Vienna - hardware, firmware, software, all under one roof. Before any product reaches assembly or production, it has to pass through you. You're embedded in the development process - working side by side with software and hardware engineers, running feedback loop after feedback loop until everything works the way it should.
This isn't end-of-line checking. It's hands-on, technical, and right in the middle of the action.
Tasks
What You'll Be Doing
- Test software throughout the development cycle and feed findings directly back to developers
- Define test plans and test cases that reflect real product requirements - and get your hands dirty executing them
- Work in tight feedback loops with the software team, embedding testing early rather than at the end
- Design and maintain automated test suites (unit, integration, regression) alongside manual/exploratory testing
- Track defects, report clearly, and stay on it until issues are properly resolved
- Sign off only when it's ready - your approval is what moves a release forward
Requirements
What You Bring to the Team
- 3+ years of relevant software testing experience - or equivalent certification (e.g. ISTQB)
- Solid understanding of testing principles and methodologies (test strategy, coverage, risk-based testing)
- Basic knowledge of mechanics and electronics
- Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks (e.g. pytest, Selenium, Cypress, or similar)
- Solid scripting/programming skills, preferably Python, to write and maintain test scripts and tooling
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated tests into build processes
- You can read technical requirements and translate them into meaningful test scenarios
- Nice to have: prior exposure to firmware or embedded software testing (e.g. Raspberry Pi, Arduino) and familiarity with digital interfaces/protocols (I2C, SPI, USB)
Benefits
